BRIEF HISTORY OF THEIR RISE.

Packed, Counted and Kept in the
Treasury-A Story of Ben Butler-some
Other Matters.


WASHINGTON, April 4
The trade dollar is being redeemed at par
The round silver disks are coming i'm with
wonderful rapidity, and I am told at the
treasury department that millions of these
dollars will be poured into the country from
alIr tad. One esl innate is that we viii have
20,000,000 here before six months have passed,
and probably two thirds of the whole issue of
trade dollars will come back to the treasury
The trade dollar was authorized in 1878 and
made legal tender as other silver coin By
1876 more than $l5, 900 had been coined,
and $l2, ,O00, 900 of this had been exported to
China and Japan. Tt is estimated that there
are now about 1000 900 trade dollars in the
United States, and altogether nearly 10000
600 have been coined. The trade dollar con-
tains, you know, ~ more grains of silver
than standar! silver dollar, and at the time
it was coined it was worth 102 $40 cents i'm
gold and 1lS 6l0 cents in currency, the gold
value of dollar note in 1878 being only
a'Hut Sc cents. Until July, 1888. the trade
q Alar was worth 80 cents in New York. It
I'M fell to 81 cents, and was bought in large
amounts by capitalists and mine owners who
paid the coin out at 100 cents each to their
employees. Then dealers refused to receive
trade dollars and they went out of circula-
tion.

THACkERAY'S HEART.

Some Private Letters.
Especial CorreSpondence

How the Novelist Revealed Himself in
Some Private Letters.
Especial Correspondence
NEW YORK, April 6.
The collection of unpublished letters of
Thackeray in Scribners Magazine for April
gives one glimpse into the boyish heart of
the great satirist Men who are easily inter-
ested, who babble of tri1es and like to hear
triaes told by their frinds, are always charm
ing. Let all who want to make themselves
cordially welcomed and much loved remeIn-
ber this.
These letters were written to the late Rev.
W. Ell. Brookfield and his wife, from 1S47 to
1849, when Thackeray, in consequence of the
malady which fell upon his wife after the
birth Of their youngest child, was living alone
in London. Mrs. Brookfield, for whom he en-
tertained a chivalrous and affectionate re-
gard, edits the letters, with the approval of
Mrs Annie Ritchie, Thackeray's daughter,
who was frequently requested by her father
to publish no memoir of him. vanity Fair"
was not yet written when these letters began,
Renown had not come to him. Only his close
personal friends who knew him well saw that
his genius was of rare order
Some of the LETTERS are mere extracts;
Others are given without the omission of a
word. "But," says Mrs. Brookfield, off every
one of these letters from Thackeray could be
rightly made public, without the slightest
restriction, they would all the more rebound
to his honor"
Some to Mr. Brookfeld begin, "My dear old
B." Others written in French are addressed
to Monsieur rAbbe," and signed "Chevalier
Titmarsh." All have in them CHEEKY, even
joyous spirit, indicating heart that found
the sweetness of life close about its feet and
liked to talk it over on paper Or off, in easy
fashion, with his friends.
He liked to drop into Cockney dialect often,
and speak about being 'hangry," or describe
something as "tremenjus." And, as the great
novelist drew with exceeding cIeverness, he
was fond of illustrating his letters with funny
caricatures. mostly Of himself Here is an
extract from letter to Mrs Brookfield, in
viting her and her husband to spend some
time at his lodgings, reproduced as it was
written. Reduced to type, it is this: II have
got box of apricots from Fornum & Masons,
which alone ought to make any lady happy,
and two shall be put under my lady's pillow
every night. Now do come-and farewell
My barb is at the postern. have had him
clipped and his effect in the park is quite
tremenjus." As it was written:

HfN0' "h'oohH lEID' There go wit, fame
friendship, ambition, high repute! All!
Aimons nous bien. It seems to me that is
the only thing we can carry away. When
we go let us leave some to love us wherever
we are"
And he gives in these words his estimate of
the world: "What we see here of this world
is but an expression of Gods will, so to speak
"a beautiful earth and sky and sea, beauti-
full affections and sorrows, wonderful changes
and developments of creation, suns rising,
stars shining, birds singing, clouds and shad-
ows changing and fading, people loving
each other, smiling and crying, the multi
piled phenomena of nature. multiplied in fact
and fancy, in art and science. in every way
that mans intellect or education or inagi-
nation can be brought to bear. And who is
to say that we are to ignore all this, or not
value them and love them, because there is
another unknown world yet to Gomez"
And again he confesses to feeling all un-
derstand when he says: ave are taught to
be ashamed of our best feelings all our life l
didn't want to blubber upon everybody's
shoulders, but to have good will for all and
a strong, very strong regard for a few, which
I shall not be ashamed to own to themn
